Should I Upgrade to the 9060XT 16GB or the 7700XT for 1440p Gaming?

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU, and I could use some advice. Currently, I have an ASUS RX 6650 XT paired with a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, and I really want to get into some serious 1440p gaming at 144fps. I've been eyeing the 7700XT because I've heard great things about it; however, I recently came across the 9060XT 16GB which seems like it might perform even better for just a little more money. My current setup runs most games at 1440p decently, but I want to ensure I get something that will really shine. Also, I was planning to upgrade my PSU if I went with the 7700XT, but I noticed that the 9060XT only requires a 500w PSU, which I already have. Can anyone help me figure out which GPU would be the better choice? Thanks a lot!

I'd suggest going for the RX 9060XT 16GB. It offers better ray tracing performance and uses less power compared to the RX 7700XT, which is a plus if you're concerned about electricity bills. Plus, it's optimized for 1440p gaming too, so you should get a solid experience!

CuriousCat22: Is the 9060XT really comparable to the 7700XT at 1440p? And do you think my 500w PSU will handle it?
